Dog House Drive In · Downtown
A Route 66 drive-in with a wagging-dachshund neon sign that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul made famous, and Food and Wine's 2018 pick for New Mexico's best hot dog. The footlong chili cheese dog with onions is the order. Add a double-meat chili cheeseburger and fries, with an orange soda to cut the red chile.
Urban Hotdog Company · Albuquerque
An Albuquerque hot dog shop that won a national bracket championship covered by Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog, built on all-beef dogs and long lists of piled-on toppings. Build your own or take a house combination like a Sonoran or a Chicago-style dog, with hand-cut fries on the side.
Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor · Nob Hill
A Nob Hill parlor with a carnival streak that Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog counts among the city's dog stops. Specialty franks run creative, from classic chili-cheese to loaded signature builds, with vegetarian dogs and shakes rounding out the counter.
Dogos V.I.P · Albuquerque
A 2025 Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog pick for Sonoran-style hot dogs, the bacon-wrapped, griddled dogs served in a bolillo roll and topped with pinto beans, tomatoes, onions and a squeeze of sauces. Get the classic Sonoran dog and a side of grilled caramelized onions.
